Tying in wiring to existing ceiling light

Go for it. It's easy and perfectly fine. Just jump from the existing to the new box. You need a junction box mounted securely to the framing members above the ceiling. They make special boxes just for this purpose. They have arms that extend so the box can be mounted anywhere.

Just wanted to say thank you to those who responded to my question, the feedback was helpful, and does confirm my original belief that this should not be to complicated as long as the existing box has the room and capacity to run a new line to the new ceiling light box.
